StartUpSelling's services are indispensible."

Blockbuster is lackluster

I switched to Blockbuster from Netflix some time ago. Blockbuster offered an advantage. Movies which I rented through the mail could be returned to the store, and the store would replace the return with a movie AND mail back my USPS movie to Blockbuster. This worked great because we could get 2 to 3 movies a week for our $12 per month subscription. Enter stage left the bean counters. Somebody must have said that they don’t want to treat customers that well, thus anyone receiving a move exchanged at a store, would have to return that movie before Blockbuster would ship another. Yes, it is confusing, but the long and short of it is, this new policy throttles movies to reduce the number I can now receive.
In a way, I can’t blame blockbuster. Their industry is about to go the way of the record industry. The day will soon come when most movies will be downloaded on-line. After all, why wait for snail mail. Soon, when cable offers a more reasonable on demand subscription rate, or when movies can be easily shared between a PC and Plasma screen TV, Blockbuster and Netflix will transition or die. The virtual model is knocking at their door, if they don’t answer, someone else surely will! www.alanblume.com
